s your backyard an oasis for you? Craig Slaaen from Picture Perfect Landscapes thinks it should be. “Your backyard should be a welcomed respite from the world, a place that brings you calm and joy,” states Craig. A small quick change which might take only three or four days onsite can make a huge difference in the feeling and usability of a space.
“Your backyard should be a welcomed respite from the world, a place that brings you calm and joy…” —Craig Slaaen Craig knows that it is important to create an appropriate plan for each client, whether it be as simple as new plantings and flower beds or adding major features. With a degree in Ornamental Horticulture, Craig will tell you that choosing the right plantings is critical. He has the training and experience to guide you toward the very best choices—from screen plantings for privacy; foundation plantings to hide unsightly foundations; or a focal point planting to create a specific point of interest in the overall design of your property. In this locale
Craig Slaaen
it is often important to choose plantings that are deer-tolerant, and likewise, choices need to be made in regard to the amount of sun or shade the specific location receives. Picture Perfect Landscapes has an architect on staff to help plan all of your outdoor transformations. Designs may include a new patio, water features, a swimming pool, gazebo, pergola, outdoor grilling stations or even a fireplace with a TV! Renovations can include your entire property and be scheduled to take place over time and in stages according to scope and budget, sometimes over multiple seasons, or even years. Foundation plantings and a new walkway in front of a house can completely change the curb appeal and value of a home, while a patio and some greenery can create that mini oasis in a backyard where none previously existed. You might even find yourself deciding on a “staycation” after a quick change! If your outdoor space could use a transformation now is the best time to start the process.

Ways to Help Your Dog Maintain Calm Behavior
S
ummer can be a stressful time of year for dogs who experience anxious behaviors, with triggers like fireworks, thunderstorms, summer travel and more taking a toll on pets. While you may not be able to prevent your pet’s anxious behaviors entirely, there are ways you can ease your dog’s apprehension and manage the behavior it can potentially cause. Pet owners take these steps to help keep pets comfortable and calm. Start preparing early Help prepare your dog by exposing him or her to recorded firework or thunder sounds. Begin training several months in advance and gradually increase the volume while rewarding your dog for maintaining calm behavior. Create a safe space Prepare a special area in your home where your dog can feel safe and secure during noisy instances. If crate trained, your dog may feel most secure there with a favorite toy to stay occupied. If not crate trained, put the bed in a quiet place close the windows and play some music to help muffle sounds. Consider a probiotic Pay your vet a visit to discuss your dog’s
behavior and see if he or she could benefit from a probiotic that’s been shown to help dogs maintain calm behavior, like Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements Calming Care. This probiotic supplement, available through veterinarians, also helps dogs maintain positive cardiac activity during stressful events, promoting a positive emotional state. It may take up to six weeks to see results, so give yourself plenty of lead time. Make your dog comfortable Giving your dog a special treat or favorite toy during a potentially upsetting event might help establish a positive association with these loud noises. Calming wraps may help for some dogs, too. Like swaddling for infants, these may help your dog feel secure during stressful situations.
Make car travel a positive experience If car rides bring out your dog’s anxious behaviors, get him or her used to the idea of car travel before summer road trips. Use a crate or dog carrier that’s large enough for your dog to lay down comfortably. Use a reward such as a favorite treat or interactive toy to get him or her excited to get in the car and crate before taking a trip. Stay calm Pets look to their owners for reassurance, so showing them a calm, relaxed demeanor helps them understand there is no real danger. – Family Features

Dora is Darling. Dora was running out of time at a local kill shelter when FOWA was contacted to help. Dora came bouncing out giving kisses with a tail that didn’t stop wagging. She is about 9 years old, spayed, micro chipped and updated on vaccines. Dora is well behaved, good with the kids and adults and so far has been the perfect lady, but give her a toy and watch that playful side come out. She is very easy to fall in love with. We recommend a home where Dora can be the only pet, but we have no doubt of her love for people. Remember, age is a number not a disease so let her steal your heart.

COLD LASER THERAPY
Relieve Pain, Restore Health Photos by Dan Epstein
C
old Laser Therapy is the most advanced healing technology to relieve pain, speed healing, decrease inflammation and regenerate body tissue. Professional sports teams use it on their athletes. The good news is you don’t have to be a professional athlete to reap the results, as NJ Spine & Joint in Cedar Grove is one of the few places to use the exact same technology. “Cold Laser is a regenerative treatment that is very effective on our patients,” says Dr. Glenn Sorrentino. “It works by emitting targeted beams of light energy, allowing deep transmission into the tissue. It’s completely safe and painless, has no side effects, and produces great results on many areas of the body.” Dr. Sorrentino uses Cold Laser as a key part of NJ Spine & Joint’s customized treatment programs, which include other effective treatments as well. “It’s important to have the right combination of treatments for the best results,” he explains. “Pain in one area is often the result of imbalance or weakness in another area. For example, knee pain is often caused by the hips being out of alignment, and shoulder pain almost always has a neck component.” In difficult cases, PRP Therapy, which is another regenerative treatment widely utilized in the sports world, may be used to repair tissue that has been damaged due to age, injury or wear-and-tear. It works by using a patient’s own blood,
Dr. Glenn Sorrentino which is drawn in the usual manner and then rotated in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. That platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in proteins and growth factors, is injected by the staff medical doctor into the affected area to stimulate regeneration. NJ Spine & Joint offers free consultations by appointment. “It’s important for patients to understand what’s causing their pain and how we can help them,” says Dr. Sorrentino. “We have patients all the time who have had pain for years, and are amazed that their pain actually goes away with our treatment protocol.” NJ Spine & Joint is a multi-specialty wellness center that provides Cold Laser Therapy, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Medical Massage, PRP Therapy, Trigger Point Injections and Weight Loss Plans.
Cold Laser is good for pain in the neck, back, shoulder, arm, elbow, hip, leg, knee, ankle, heel and foot. The advanced technology helps many conditions, including headaches, tendonitis, sciatica, arthritis, numbness, tingling, spinal stenosis, disc herniation, muscle strain, muscle spasms and sports injuries.

HEALTH TIPS: Treat Your Hair and Scalp with Care
T
he changing seasons, environmental factors, overuse of harmful products and ingrained grooming habits can damage your hair. Getting the strong, shiny hair you want can be as easy as following a few simple tips for hair and scalp health.
1.
Wash in lukewarm water. Washing your hair in overly hot water can strip too much of the hair and scalp’s natural oils and moisture, and leave your hair looking and feeling dehydrated. Using lukewarm or even cool water while you shampoo and rinse helps protect your hair and scalp.
2.
Dry with warm or cool air. Blow drying daily using the hottest air setting can damage hair over time, causing frizz and split ends. First, air dry for a while or gently towel dry the hair then choose the warm or even cool setting when drying. You can also get a diffuser attachment to use on the hair dryer to help reduce damage while styling.
3.
Treat hair before washing. To help replenish moisture and give your hair a healthy boost, use a pre-shampoo treatment such as Monat’s Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive to provide nourishment that washing alone may remove. A pea-sized drop of this product will nourish your hair, and it can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment, intensive hydrating treatment or leave-in finishing treatment. The oil’s ingredients include Abyssinian oil (selected for its rejuvenating properties), antioxidants, beta-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids to balance and benefit the hair.
4.
5.
Use naturally based products. Avoid potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens, polyethylene glycol, petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin wax, plastic microbeads, formaldehyde releasers, and harmful colors or fragrances. Monat offers dermatologist-tested, naturally based shampoos and conditioners that do not contain these harmful ingredients.
Treating your hair with the same gentle care you give to your skin will show visible results. It will also maximize your hair cut and style giving you the strongest and most vibrant locks you’ve ever had. – BPT
Shoulder Pain?
Don’t over-wash. Depending on your lifestyle, hair type and personal styling needs, giving your hair a rest from daily washing can help further protect your hair from damage. Try a good quality dry shampoo to maintain hair’s natural bounce and beauty.
We have the world’s most advanced healing technology. Cold laser therapy generates tremendous results, even where other treatments have failed. Simple, safe, and painless, it reduces pain and inflammation while speeding healing, with no side effects. Cold laser therapy is used by professional, college, and Olympic athletes worldwide.

O
ver the past 10 years, researchers have learned Alzheimer’s disease starts much earlier than the onset of symptoms—10-20 years before an individual, family member or friend might notice the signs of the debilitating disease. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.5 million Americans, of all races and ethnicities, age 65 and older currently live with Alzheimer’s disease, which is expected to grow to more than 7 million people by 2025. The first-of-its-kind Alzheimer Prevention Trials Webstudy (APT Webstudy), funded by the National Institutes of Health, aims to increase the pace of research by enlisting thousands of healthy volunteers who can quickly be enrolled in clinical trials focused on preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Enrollees in the APT Webstudy can use the internet to help stop the disease while being alerted to changes in their own memory function. “In order to change the lives of the numerous people and their loved ones who will be affected by Alzheimer’s, we need everyone to get involved with prevention efforts,” said Paul Aisen, MD, co-principal investigator of the APT Webstudy. “The bigger the army of volunteers, the faster we can work to prevent this terrible disease.” Volunteers can access the Webstudy when and where it is convenient for them, such as on their computer or tablet, or even a public library; anywhere they can access the internet. Volunteers participate in regular online memory testing. If there is a change in memory function, eligible volunteers are alerted and may be invited to a no-cost, in-person evaluation at one of the research sites across the country. “This is an opportunity for everyone to help future generations avoid the suffering caused by Alzheimer’s,” Aisen said. “With enough volunteers, we will be one step closer to seeing the first Alzheimer’s survivor.”

C
alandra’s Mediterranean Grill’s chef Robert Caravaggio is one of those chefs who trained the “old school” way starting in the kitchens of his Nonna, his mom, and his aunt. After a twenty year stint in Las Vegas where he manned the kitchens in places like Sam’s Town, The Tropicana, and Treasure Island specializing in both Northern and Southern Italian cuisine, the need to be near family brought him back to New Jersey. Serendipity happened when he met the Calandra brothers and as he says, he and Anthony “just hit it off.” In the year and a half that Chef Caravaggio has been at the helm of the Mediterranean Grill, he has completely redone the menu in the restaurant, the bar, the catering service, and even the room service at the Hampton Inn & Suites where the restaurant is located. He has created new dishes and some that are wonderfully nostalgic and harkening back 100 years of Italian tradition. There are several restaurant selections worth noting: the Calandra Salad–a deconstructed Greek Salad with cucumber, feta cheese, kalamata olives, onion, grape tomatoes, avocado and dressed with season lemon vinaigrette; and the Watermelon Salad, which includes fresh mint, basil, and pan-seared scallops, seasoned with salt and pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Another salad worth tasting is Insalada Capri, which features sliced beefsteak tomatoes, burrata cheese, sliced prosciutto, roasted walnuts, fresh pesto and just the right touch of lemon vinaigrette. Chitarra Amatriciana is a pasta dish named for guitar strings which it resembles. The pasta is dressed with onions, fresh basil, roasted tomatoes, a touch of pomidori sauce, fresh parsley, fresh pecorino romano, and of course a touch of evoo. A real standout is the Chippino, a fisherman’s stew from the Liguria region, near Portofino. It’s a wonderful combination of calamari, salmon, mussels, clams, and shrimp with a spicy tomato and wine broth which is served with toasted
Chef Robert Caravaggio crostini made of course from the amazing Calandra’s fresh baked bread. Fish is big in Italian cuisine, so you’ll find Chef Caravaggio’s take on Bronzino that is served grilled, with curry-infused couscous, and roasted cauliflower with Italian bread crumbs and garnished with grape tomatoes, shallots, and lemon zest. Not to be missed for lamb lovers is a Mediterranean Rack of Lamb, made from Australian lamb which the chef says is bigger and more flavorful than popular New Zealand lamb. Served with sun-dried tomatoes, couscous, and a cucumber-based fresh Greek salad. Chef Caravaggio gives kudos and says: “I’m proud of what we do here. I have an amazing kitchen crew. I couldn’t do it without them.” He also notes that both servers and kitchen staff have been with the Grill for an average of 10 years. Using the finest ingredients he can procure as well as utilizing the baked goods from the renowned Calandra’s Bakery, which delivers twice daily, the Grill has found itself with rave reviews from Zagat, Diner’s Choice, Open Table, and Trip Advisor. A trip to this truly singular dining experience won’t disappoint. And as Chef Robert says: “It may be the most authentic Mediterranean restaurant you’ve ever visited.”

Some Thoughts on COURAGE
T
here is a deep core-based sense of courage and confidence that is not something we are born with. It comes from having tried and failed and risen to try again. It comes from experience, from having confronted one’s fears. It comes from the courage that is born in our hearts.
Courage and fear are inevitably intertwined. We become courageous Barry Farber when we have faith and we take action. When we believe strongly in what we’re doing, and we’re moving toward a goal that challenges all of our senses, we meet fear head-on.
“Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.”
The problem with courage is one of perception. Most of us think that courage only applies to the big things: to saving someone’s life or to bravery in extreme circumstances. But if you struggle day to day to overcome adversities large and small (and we all do), you show a great amount of courage when you press on instead of just giving up. It’s the opposite of being discouraged. It’s looking inside yourself, being honest with yourself, and knowing that going after your goals and dreams takes courage and may be difficult. But in the end, you know deep down that choosing to follow your heart is the right thing to do.
– Aristotle, philosopher
The word courage comes from the Latin cuer, or heart. It means the quality of the spirit that enables one to face danger or difficulty instead of withdrawing from it. Courage does not mean the absence of fear. Those who are without fear are reckless and thoughtless, and often cause harm to themselves and others. Those who have courage know fear yet carry on despite it. They are able to look fear in the face, acknowledge it, and say, “I will not let you stop me.”
“Courage is being scared to death—and saddling up anyway.” – John Wayne, actor
